Kasi malaki yung pera na nilalabas ng mga gambling platforms para magpromote sila sa tulong ng mga influencers, may nakita nga ako na isang influencer na nagreveal ng mga Gambling game na nagpm sa kanya para magpromote ng sugal sa kanyang page, at sa pinakita niya is around 10k pesos ata ang lowest tapos kahit sa dulo mo na siya ng video na ipopost mo yung sugal na ipopromote mo tapos kahit 5 video mo lang sila imention ayos na kaya hindi na nakakapagtaka na madaming naattract na mga influencers at streamers na magpromote kasi malaki nga naman yung kinikita. Yung influencer nga pala na binabanggit ko ay si Typical Pinoy Crap.

Let them say what they have to say about bitcoin if it's changing a lot of people's lives and not them then so be it, just don't prohibit or stop your people from investing in something that they believe in and that will help them throughout their financial struggles. Those people that are worried about bitcoin are either against it because they give freedom to the people from the conventional financial institutions or that they want to create an artificial negativity in market or FUD so they can buy bitcoin at a much cheaper price since fear discourages some people from investing in bitcoin if they hear this so-called "trusted" authorities saying that investing in bitcoin is so risky that they need to get out of it if they're invested in bitcoin.

If you want to understand the world better and write a better "analysis" than this, you have to expand your view a lot more than this. Right now you are too focused on a very tiny portion of what is actually happening in the world which makes your view very limited.

The East vs. West is far more complicated than just Russia and US and only oil/gas. And even though there are only 4-5 actual geopolitical players, this affects the entire world and the rest are picking sides making a big bloc versus bloc.
I was like this too, it's East vs West but when you look at international news and politics, it's more than just the East trying to dominate the West, there's no countries united in destroying or one upping the other direction because there are countries in east that leans toward foreign policies and international relations that favors the west and vice versa, I mean look at Ukraine, that's a glaring example that not all of East are against West. I do agree that it's complicated as just East vs West but I believe that this is more like a Neo Cold War but with oil and global influence as a way to fight against each other, I mean Putin was mad that Russia lost a lot of land during the collapse of the USSR so in a way he's trying to start something again but it's more different now because a lot of countries have learned already about which side they're choosing.
1145  Economy / Economics / Re: Luxury and spending lifestyle fastest way to poverty rich kid on: November 29, 2023, 05:17:53 AM
If you want to be rich sell to rich kids.
This actually makes sense since spoiled brats will be the most gullible people out there when it comes to spending and they're the most likely people to be buying luxury items so it makes sense you will have them as your target market if you want to create a successful business but got to make sure that your product is something they can flex on other people and make them raise their status.
you’re saying that we should sell drugs and liquor to rich kids who are now poor because of drug addiction and alcohol abuse?

the example you used are kids partying and spending money like it’s nothing it’s true that you could have them as your target market and gain profit but this will weigh in on too much on my conscience i also don’t think we should sacrifice our own safety just to get rich

instead you’d want to sell to middle-class people sell them items that are luxury looking but are cheap i’m not saying to scam them but a lot of middle-class people buy fake goods because they want to seem rich for some reasons they’re the most expressive about their purchases
Sure the example is a bit wrong and will deliver the wrong message but if you actually use common sense, they make sense that you will have these rich kids as a customer base for your products because they don't mind spending money since they're mooching off of their parents' money. It's difficult to do the luxury looking but cheap because the looks of luxury brands are what's extensive to do and you can't do that with cheap labor and your cheap labor isn't a sweatshop somewhere in Asia.
1146  Economy / Economics / Re: How we survive food shortages on: November 29, 2023, 04:51:26 AM
There are so many solutions to the issue of food shortages that the world may be experiencing. Some of these solutions have a pragmatic approach, and some do not. Food shortages can be addressed indirectly through cryptocurrency. How so?
Cryptocurrencies can help with the provision of farm credit to poor farmers and those located in hard-to-reach areas where financial services may be nonexistent. Doing so will give them the morale to get back to the field to cultivate their crops or rear their animals.
What solution are you talking about? That's pretty generalized and vague that you didn't say any kind of solution so how can you say that some of them are pragmatic or not? Crypto isn't the solution to the woes of the farmers, poor farmers need to be able to make money out of their harvest while not worrying about the fertilizers and pesticides that they're using for their crops, what they need is infrastructure and roads that will make it easy to move their products to the market which is essentially cutting the middle man because that's what I've seen that's making it difficult for farmers to get profit out of their crops and livestocks, the middleman is what's making the most money.
1147  Economy / Economics / Re: Inventing a job is better than finding a job on: November 29, 2023, 04:20:36 AM
Let me tell you this though, there's 8 billion people in the world, if what you're trying to say is much easier, how are you exactly going to be able to invent jobs if everyone's doing it? Also, if you mean to create a business, I don't think that it's going to be for everyone to do that anyway because not everyone can be an entrepreneur and if I'm being honest, it's easier to find a job if you know where to look at, maybe it's not a job that you normally do or matches your degree but still a job is a job and there's a lot there that you can find, not everyone wants to be an entrepreneur anyway. Also if you mean inventing a job as in literally, then you will be needing a lot of money because you're planning to create something new and people aren't going to believe you at first so I don't think that inventing a job is going to be much easier.
1148  Economy / Speculation / Re: Dump market potential? on: November 29, 2023, 03:56:31 AM
For me to start worrying about a conflict causing a negative influence in the market, it's got to be super power nations that are directly in conflict and not just doing their proxy wars with other nations. That's when I'm going to be worried although I am not trying to be worried too much about conflicts as much as I can since there's only so much that I can do. And in the case that I worry about, I don't think bitcoin or crypto market dumps are going to be what I will be worrying about, super power nations at war is going to get us closer to the midnight of Doomsday clock.
1149  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Why Binance exchange delisting the crytop currencies and the sport trade pairs on: November 29, 2023, 03:25:00 AM
Binance usually keeps delisting those coins and pair which don't meet certain criteria, I have seen Binance delisting coins when they are heavily manipulated like it did with a coin named Nebilo where the price of coin were heavily manipulated as Binance cannot afford to lose out on its reputation by having projects listed in it's exchange which are very volatile and it's prices being controlled hence they removed Nebilo and I guess same logic applies to some of these coins .
Exactly, OP seems to be trying to make it look like these two events are somehow connected but Binance has been doing this even before this AML investigation has been surfacing so basically the only explanation to this is that Binance is just doing business as usual and they can't afford to stop because their CEO was replaced because he stepped down, it's just a coincidence that there's a lot of tokens that got delisted while the issue is still at it's hottest.

If op could endure to hold bitcoin from 25k till date what then stops him from not holding till bullrun, what difference does it make selling now?
Well I can't detects for op even to tell him hold on but as a bitcoiner someone who so much believe and trust bitcoin should be able to know that bitcoin is a speculative assets and for that we have just few months/days to halving and this could really fetched him something very amazing if op can just hold till the main bullrun.
Halving is estimated to be 4 to 5 months away from happening, I think that doesn't count as few months. There's going to be an opportunity for OP to buy bitcoin along those months anyway so I am sure that selling right now won't be that bad of a deal, it's not like OP is going to quit investing for good just because OP is selling. Also, there's definitely going to be a time where bitcoin price will eventually go down again before it will go up again that's why I believed that OP should go for selling since there's still that future and potential opportunity to get back at a cheaper price.

You still have to survive to be able to benefit from such a thing, and there could be a lot of battles along the way, including some people getting caught into situations in which they get their coins taken from them (or they lose them through their own inadvertences). Another thing, if you have an income that is between $800 and $2,000 per month, but your expenses are $1k per month, then surely you have to figure out how aggressive that you can be in terms of how much bitcoin you buy every month. and surely you can be more aggressive in your BTC accumulation if you have other things in place, such as enough for expenses for 6 months or longer (which would be $6k) and some emergency funds, and so many of us have to figure out ways to make sure that we can stay in the game, including being careful regarding how much BTC we store with 3rd parties (maybe not allowing any more than 20% of all your stash to be with them at any given time), but even when we engage in our own private key management, we can make mistakes by being too simple or not researching sufficiently secure systems, or we could even overly complicate matters and lose our coins that way... also how much do you talk about bitcoin with people who might end up leaking your bitcoin amounts and/or security practices..... so I am not wanting to get off of topic regarding many things that could happen along the way, and we likely want to be as aggressive as we are able to be in terms of our own BTC accumulation, but at the same time, not so aggressive that we end up losing our coins or putting ourselves in to a position in which we have4 to sell some or all of our coins at a time that is not completely of our own choosing.. and my own proposal is that no one should ever be selling all of their coins, so whatever coins they do sell would likely not be a very large percentage of their overall stash.. and of course, people differ in their opinions on the topic of BTC stash management... and/or when/if/how to cash out.
I wish I do have that kind of income stream, that would be enough for me to live comfortably in my country since the price of goods here is expensive, if the case is that I will be having to spend my bitcoin for something urgents comes, I just hope that I have other means to make money and I have saved a bit of fiat to hopefully not use my considerable bitcoin stash for those stuff, I'm still young anyway and I am not that materialistic so I know that I'm going to be just fine as long as I don't get into anything bad like disease or accident. Regarding my security, I have the most simple storage in Electrum, no need to be too complicated about those stuff and at the same time it's enough security and I don't tattle tale, maybe when they ask me, I just show them a small amount of my stash that's separate from my main stash and I lie to them that I don't have a lot and that's all that I have so they don't pry too much.
1152  Economy / Speculation / Re: If bitcoin will accepted worldwide for legal then price rising $100k?? on: November 29, 2023, 01:27:59 AM
It's going to be more than just a 100k if everyone's using bitcoin as a currency because there's only so much bitcoin out there and so many expenses, I don't know if this is accurate but I've seen that there's about 34.7 trillion USD is spent globally now if you were to divide that to 18 million bitcoins accounting for lost bitcoins, then you'll probably see that the worth of bitcoin is going to be more than just a 100k even if say bitcoin only gets to be part of that half of that spending, bitcoin will still be worth more than 100k so fingers crossed that it's going to happen in the future and that when that happens, a lot of us would be hodling large amounts of bitcoin.
1153  Economy / Speculation / Re: The low support level may still be tested during 2023. on: November 28, 2023, 10:03:32 AM
Avoid more worries by increasing your optimism about the potential for good bitcoin prices ahead of the halving. I have removed $20k from my list of risks to consider since bitcoin broke $38k, but of course I can still consider some corrections that make many traders panic like a drop below $35k or $32k.
Even still, I think that you should know that there's bound to be a black swan that will probably happen before you can finally dispel that worry because I am telling you right now that the said event hasn't happened yet and the halving hasn't arrived yet so the possibilities are endless but fear not as that event can be a good time to buy bitcoin because it's a prelude to whatever positive is happening in the bitcoin market is going to happen.

Anyone considering to buy bitcoin based on possible upside scenarios should attempt to be somewhat realistic in terms of timeline and probabilities, and surely these are quite speculative type plays.
I guess you're right, forgot about the part that you need to be practical and realistic at how you're going to envision your investment in bitcoin. Maybe I am too optimistic and too hyped about bitcoin that I see 1 sat equal to 1 dollar as a future but hey, everyone can dream even the delusional ones right? Cheesy

~
Without getting into dollar debasement so much, yet I would think that the best of scenarios would take 50 years for $1 to equal 1 sat (that means more or less in today's dollar value), but the more likely timelines would be 100 years or more, and so there could be a variety of lesser scenarios that would have to play out before getting to those higher numbers, and I would think that even the lesser scenarios justify getting some kind of a position in bitcoin, whether you are on the whimpy side, such as 1% of your investment portfolio in bitcoin or if you are on the more aggressive side and put 25% of your investment portfolio into bitcoin.
Now that you've put that realism lens to my eyes, I would say that a million for 1 bitcoin is probably not going to happen in that 50 year timeline, maybe even at a 100 years, I don't think that's a possibility, that could only happen if people all over the world and the government has accepted that bitcoin's the real deal and I don't think it's ever going to happen because resistance to change will always be present among these people that are benefiting from the traditions.
1155  Economy / Economics / Re: Imaginary Future on: November 28, 2023, 07:50:51 AM
That's why you only invest what you can afford to lose, even if bitcoin is guaranteed to make you a profit if you HODL for a really long time, you shouldn't always go all in with the investment because you besides the potential that you might need some money for unforeseen events in your life or emergencies, there's also the fact that your mental health is suffering because all you think about is money, investment and financial freedom, you never think too much about your other needs which is detrimental to your health which can only be supplemented by tending to your other needs.

But at least an employee knows that he is working in the office and he should not gamble in the office because he gets a salary from his office. That is an employee's ethics towards the office that wants to choose and accept him to work in the office. He should be able to respect this by not gambling in his office because it could interfere with work. It's different if he gambles when he's on a break from work because it won't affect his work. However, an employee should not do other things that are not related to office work because he is in the office and can adapt himself to the circumstances in which he is. But each person has his or her opinion about gambling while he or she is at work.
I don't know about you dude but if I have a way to slack off in a job that doesn't pay me that much, you bet that I'm going to grab that opportunity, sure there's ethics and responsibilities but they better be paying me the livable amount of wage because no way I'm going to be doing 100% in work for a measly sum, and it's not like the company isn't exploiting it's workers anyways, might as well do stuff that I want to do while doing my work at bare minimum. I may be another cog in the corporate machine but I'm not going to be a blindly obedient cog.
1157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: November 28, 2023, 06:27:23 AM

Unfortunately, this success is difficult or even seems impossible to achieve because the opportunity for gambler to win consistently and turn himself into successful gambler is very small or almost non-existent, unless the gambler really has luck which makes him have a more guaranteed win.
Success in changing your life or becoming rich from gambling is the desire of many gamblers but they do not realize that gambling is not suitable place to achieve this goal and I am sure that 99% of gamblers are more likely to lose lot of wealth than increase their income from gambling.
The definition of gambling is actually place and activity to have fun and get entertainment not to make money, plus we come to risk money with opportunities that are uncertain so that expecting profits from gambling will only give a feeling of disappointment.
That's what I've although I've used different words, I'm still trying to convey the same thing. I know it's difficult but there are games where you can easily make some profit like blackjack or poker but those still have probability in it and at the same time you need the skills to be able to be good at it. I would agree with you that some people don't realize gambling as not a suitable way to make money but that's not the absolute truth since there are some that are aware but chooses to ignore in hopes that they're going to have a different fate.
1158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: November 28, 2023, 04:04:29 AM
Simple logic, the poor don't have the money to keep going for a long period of gambling unlike rich people that might've a vast amount of money in their pockets that they don't mind spending in gambling also when a poor person plays, they don't have that much money to wager so when they get a big win, it's not exactly a big win because they did wager a lot of money but unlike rich people, they get bigger returns from their wins and I am not sure about the last one but poor people have more tendency to gamble again after a big win because they're feeling lucky.

Gone are the days when African Americans and Hispanics would vote en bloc for the Democrat party. Many of them are now well settled in the United States and the welfare politics of Democrats no longer appeal to them. Large populations have moved to the wealthy suburbs and many are now bothered about high taxes and growing crime rate. Also, I have a feeling that Democrats are taking these two sections for granted. They are failing to realize that they can no longer get blind support from them, by putting up the scare stories about evil Republican white politician trying to segregate the other races. GOP has been made more inclusive, while Democrat Party has remained where they were in the 1980s.
That's just sad in my opinion, the fact that now that they're out of the poverty line or even near the border that line, they suddenly can't care enough about the others that are still in that much, it's deplorable and you will see how they really are as a person because they're clearly only thinking for themselves if that's really the growing sentiment among these rags to riches people, I do hope that whomever they're going to support is going to lose and that they get to spend more on taxes, now I'm not from that country but if those welfare is still helping people that need them, I think that there's a need that policies that support them or improve them should happen and those politicians that supports them should be the one that gets the support.

I think people are getting it easier nowadays when it comes to consequences so they do stupid stuff like this one and then try to make it everyone's problem when it's clearly their fault. If I ever come across that kind of person, I would probably laugh on their faces because they've made an avoidable mistake, why let me in on your problem? I don't even know you.
I feel like this is right but I can't necessarily agree with this, I definitely feel like some people are getting away with consequences so easily, it's not just with gambling, I think that this is a trend right now especially with social media platforms where everyone wants to be famous and so they do stupid and borderline criminal pranks and they get away with just saying that it's just a prank or something like that, I really feel good inside whenever scums that are getting their just desserts. I don't know about the laughing at them though, maybe don't do it in front of them?
"would you keep buying an alcoholic more booze" Is what I read and understand from this question.
Best analogy question for this one although I do think that any addiction would still be the same if not get much better because some alcoholics have their problem rooted in something far worse and they might see alcohol as an escape, it's not a good thing to tolerate someone who's clearly destroying themselves and are already showing signs that your help will only be appreciated because it just fuels their addiction. I do think that it's weird that people are thinking to do this kind of stuff, crowdfunding for someone who's clearly losing money already from gambling unless you want and like to watch them crash and burn, I don't see the point of funding that addiction.
Definitely not. It's like I'm being an accessory to their addiction. If I myself can't fund my own gambling activities that much, why would I fund and support someone who's been proven to be irresponsible and cannot control themselves? I can support them in some way but certainly not financially. If the person will not hold the funds directly and will only get what they need in order to recover from their addiction, perhaps I can help with that. Otherwise, I won't extend any financial help at all.
It's not "it's like", you are being an accessory to their addiction because besides tolerating it, you are also fueling them when they should've stopped a long time ago because they're not doing themselves any favor continuing to gamble. I don't think that your way of helping them is going to go the way you want it because as noble as it is, you are going to be tempting them to use that money for recovery to gamble, better if they don't see any when they're really trying to recover.
